2 Esdras 15:26 In-Context

24 "Woe to those who sin and do not observe my commandments," says the Lord;

25 "I will not spare them. Depart, you faithless children! Do not pollute my sanctuary."

26 For the Lord knows all who transgress against him; therefore he will hand them over to death and slaughter.

27 For now calamities have come upon the whole earth, and you shall remain in them; for God will not deliver you, because you have sinned against him.
